Cleveland Athletic Academy is proud to offer a variety of training programs for hockey players looking to elevate their game and earn the privilege! Hockey players are arguably the best athletes in the world, and at the professional level, these athletes have dedicated their lives to improving their mind, body and skills everyday. We understand not every player is going to play in the NHL, however the life lessons hockey and other sports teach young athletes will help them be successful in life. At CAA, we put the athlete first, and our coaching staff prides themselves on helping all athletes reach their full potential on and off the ice. Every session athletes will be encouraged to push themselves out of their comfort zone as our staff makes corrections to help them master the skill they are working on. We believe eliminating the "why" for our athletes will help them focus on the training sessions and implement new skills into their game quicker. Every session athletes will leave with new skills, a better mind, sweat dripping and a smile on their face!
